11. Julia G.

“Julia is a great temporary puppy mommy. This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone we didn’t know. Julia had us fill out an information sheet with info so that she could follow his eating and activities similar to what we do. She kept us well informed as to how he was eating, his walks and other activities with plenty of pictures at various points throughout the day so we knew he was in good hands. By the end of our short trip we felt like we now know Julia because the communication was so good. We will definitely leave our puppy with Julia in the future.”


12. Veronique G.

“I can’t say how amazing Veronique and her family was to my dogs! I was able to fully relax on my vacation knowing how well my dogs were being taken care of. The pick up and drop off option was such a bonus because my dogs are big and I have trouble getting them into the car, they also arrived right on time. They sent a lot of pictures and updates which I really appreciated and I will definitely re-book again when the time comes. 100% recommend this amazing family.”


13. Cody S.

“Cody took such good care of our baby. He updated us daily with photos. My baby loved staying with him and in fact got more spoiled then he does at home. When ever we have to leave him for now on Cody will always be our choice.”


14. Christopher G.

“Chris was great! Easy to book, communication was clear and he sent me plenty of pics during our pup’s weekend stay with him. Their dog Luna is a sweetheart. Our dog got plenty of walks and attention while she was there. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks!”


15. Michael D.

“Michael was an awesome sitter for my adorable playful (at times needy) puppers! I received daily updates and pictures of them having a good time.
